Map of works area
Balfour Beatty is working in partnership with East Sussex County Council to manage the highways service across East Sussex. We will soon be carrying out carriageway investigations on Upperton Road, Eastbourne.
When do they start?
Work will be carried out from Monday 7 July to Saturday 12 July 2025, between 7pm to 6am. We will inform you of any changes to the dates or times via advanced warning signs on site.
What are we doing?
We’re carrying out investigations, including trial holes and core holes, to gather information about the condition of the road, to help plan possible future repairs to the carriageway.
How will this impact highway users?
The team will be working between then junction of Hartfield Road to the Station Roundabout. The road will remain open with temporary traffic lights in place whilst the work is undertaken and removed each day when the works are finished.
Information for residents and businesses
Parking: If required, we will put out ‘no parking’ signs and cones on the site to advise where parking is restricted. Please avoid parking in these locations as it will delay our works.
Weather: All these works are subject to favourable weather conditions, for example heavy rain may affect the progress of the works.
Properties close to the carriageway may experience a temporary disturbance as this can be a noisy process and those properties may experience flashing lights and reversing sirens.
We would like to take this opportunity to apologise in advance for any inconvenience or disruption this work may cause, however this forms part of our continuing improvement for the East Sussex highway network. Should you have any concerns regarding these works, you can contact us at eshcomms@balfourbeatty.com.
Please let us know how we did by leaving feedback. Please note you will be redirected to the East Sussex County Council consultation website.
